I have M$Office2000 & OO2x along with TB & FF. TB & FF are set as the
default client & browser. When I send a Word document as an email it
defaults to TB with the .doc attachment. With OO I have the options of
sending the document as a .odf, .doc or .pdf attachment. In all cases
they are attached to a TB email. Clicking on a link in either Word or
OO I end up in FF with the link being honored. Set them as your default
email client & browser and all should go well. For FF
tools/options/general & check to see if it your default browser if not
then make it so. For TB I do not know the path to that and have a
problem with my Options screens at this time. I reluctant to mess with
it as all is going so well at this time. Perhaps someone else will have
a more complete answer.

BTW I just tested each of the above on my 2 main systems and they work
as described.

I just sent myself a message and I did not have any problems
